Understanding the chemical composition of gas utilized in refinery operations is vitally important to ensuring product quality and safety. Whether you are analyzing light gases, furnace gases, stack gases, combustion gases, decoking gases, biogas or mine gases, our solutions designed specifically for petrochemical operations will ensure your compliance with regulatory methods ASTM D1946 and E1746 for chlorine impurities analysis, while also optimizing productivity and ROI. PerkinElmer’s series of analyzers for the determination of light hydrocarbons and fixed gases utilize a combination of gas chromatography (GC) and a thermal conductivity detector (TCD), providing an efficient and robust solution for the analysis of gaseous samples.
false falseUtilizing a dual thermal TCD and packed columns, Model 4017 can be paired with a number of optional channels including an FID (flame ionization detector) for better hydrocarbon detection, a methanizer/FID and purged-valve housings for trace CO and CO2 analysis, an FPD (Flame Photometric detector) or a sulfur chemiluminescence detector for sub-ppm levels of hydrogen sulfide and other light sulfur compounds. Building on the features of Model 4016, this analyzer offers full-range hydrogen detection using a separate channel with nitrogen carrier gas. Meeting the needs of operations required to analyze samples for ASTM D1946, PerkinElmer’s Model 4017 guarantees detection limits of 0.02% for H2S, and 0.01% for Ar-O2 composite, N2, CH4, CO, CO2, ethylene, ethane and acetylene.
